Just finished a fun painting of a sakura tree. The trunk is not like a sakura tree though. Artistic license :P

New painting yay! trying to be more gestural in my brushstrokes. time to move on to another landscape, i think.

And here's the final competition entry!

Here's a couple of paintings i did for a recent animation competition, a collaboration with Matt Osborne. I've been trying to give my digital paintings a traditional watercolour feel, to make it look hand painted. I guess I could've actually hand-painted these, but I wanted to see how far I could mimic that look digitally.

another sketch for the MTV brief

this one's from the MTV2 Nexus brief, back in 2010.

oh, another one from Bibiti. They keep cropping up.

some storyboard wip for an exciting short ident I'm working on with Matt Osborne, its gonna be fun!

These are sketches from my final year project, 'Bibiti'. Except for the alien. He wanted to be in the film, but didn't make the cut.

Amazing animated video from Celine Desrumaux! Loving the graphic edgy quality to her illustrations

playing around with overlaying textures on illustrator. I saw the georgia power illustrator sketches on the amazing Three Legged Legs, and got inspired!

Really nicely designed piece for Annecy by folks at Gobelins

some moleskine sketches.

Playing around with a not so limited colour palette.

Hello! Haven't updated in ages, so i'll throw in a work in progress painting. Needed to improve my observational studies, so decided to do a female portrait. Trying to make my edges sharper.

Borrowed a book on Frederick Leighton and his works, and now absolutely love his stuff, vibrant colours, awesome painting skills. Tried to do a black and white value study of one of his pieces, trying to use larger strokes to pull of the shiny drapery, it was a good study i think. I still get proportions horribly wrong.

My LMS piece for 'Underneath it all'. I always thought those Venitian Balls were kinda creepy, with ther masksand all. So I had this idea that they were all aliens,or a family of aliens that gather together and dance. So this picture is supposed to be a moment when they take off their masks, revealing their true form. I think I lost the message halfway, and its hard for anyone to make sense of it, haha. I really enjoyed working on this piece though.
